Chinese New Year, also called Lunar New Year, is the most important festival of the year. On New
Year’s Eve or the day before New Year, all family members will gather and enjoy a reunion dinner
together.
Since it is the last meal of the year, every dish they have will be meticulously prepared and
must come with fortunate meanings giving them prosperity in the year ahead. Some of the popular
dishes have nuts as main ingredients such as Five-treasure fried rice and Eight-treasure fried rice.
Being an auspicious symbol, nuts are representing prosperity, longevity, and sustainability. One such example is peanut snack bar whose shapes are resembled gold bars signifying fortune. Heritage, Thailand’s leading manufacturer and distributor of healthy and natural food such as nuts, grains, dried fruits, and premium ingredients for cooking, would like to introduce 5 favorable nuts including almonds, pistachios, walnuts, macadamias, and cashew nuts for Chinese New Year. Just eating one handful of these nuts per day can offer necessary nutrition for your body.
1. Almond – Because of its health benefits and extraordinary taste, almond is the most popular
nut of all. It helps in preventing diabetes and maintaining the level of cholesterol, and it
contains good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) as well. At present, almond milk is easy
to find and is available in the form of ready-to-drink milk which meets the need of health lovers.
2. With high protein and fiber, pistachio nutsare suitable for people who want to lose weightand
they can help you feel full for longer and eat less during meals.
3. Walnuts are high in omega-3 fats, which are beneficial to the functioning of various systems
in the body as well as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.
4. Known as the king of nuts, macadamias are enriched with nutrition and antioxidants such as
flavonoid and vitamin E which help reduce inflammation and cholesterol and prevent damage
to cells caused by free radicals that can lead to cancer. Therefore, eating foods that are high
in antioxidants like macadamia nuts may help prevent cancer.
